You got into a really wierd situation here. How did you install? Looks
like somehow the wrong RPMs were installed. There are several different
versions of the "srvadmin-ipmi" RPM, one for each OS, in order to pull
in the correct dependency on OpenIPMI. There is also a srvadmin-ipmi RPM
for DUPs, which is a dummy RPM that has no dependencies.

Looks like you have the DUP srvadmin-ipmi RPM installed rather than the
one for RHEL5, which is what you need.

BTW, if you use the yum repo, this cannot happen. :)
